Congrats Kolpin!!

We recently had the chance to review a few magnesium based products from Ancient Minerals.

About Ancient Minerals:

What we thought:  Some of you may remember our previous review of the oil, gel and amazing bath flakes from Ancient Minerals last year.  This year they have an awesome new website full of super helpful information on the benefits and uses of magnesium and a super cool new product...Magnesium Lotion!  I love this stuff!  Seriously, I have pretty dry skin and sometimes while using the gel my skin would get tight and uncomfortably dry.  Now I can have the super power of the magnesium and the added benefit of moisture from the lotion.  Application is easy, as always, and the results are pretty quick.  The ailment I use my magnesium lotion most often for is sinus headaches.  I believe it really does help make the pain go away faster than just taking something over the counter.  The bath flakes are amazing for achy muscles and are helpful with skin irritations likes rashes.  I love that these products are safe for use on the kiddos too:)  If you have eczema or some form of dermatitis, Ancient Minerals lotion and bath flakes could help you get your skin ready for summer.  ABCD Diaries gives Ancient Minerals another A+!
